The main reason I find the Mormon War of 1838 of considerable interest, though, is because Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican candidate for President, is a Mormon. Given the persecution of the Mormons in their early years and the fact that they were completely driven out of Missouri in 1839, it is remarkable that a practicing Mormon could possibly be elected President of the United States this year.
Informative comments as well. Thanks for sharing this find.
I don’t have a problem with Romney’s religious beliefs……he at least is honest about those beliefs. Obama, on the other hand……….. I voted for him once, and that’s a mistake that I will not repeat.
